Munich's latest offering is as good at taking curves as showing them.
The new 8 Series Coupe, with its two doors and severely restricted rear seating space, is a car that definitively shuns practicality in favour of posing. But it is, many would probably agree, BMW’s most beautiful car.
With its hunkered-down stance and wide track the BMW oozes speed-chasing intent, and the go-fast hardware beneath that sporting swagger doesn’t disappoint. Aside from that glitch, it’s a big car that reacted like a much smaller one when attacking the Cape’s curviest roads.The M850i straddles the comfort-sport equation very well with its different selectable modes, and switching from comfort to sport adopts a racier character and raunchier exhaust note.
BMW’s latest infotainment system and digital instrument panel give a high-tech feel to the deluxe cabin and, though the cramped rear seats are more suited to poodles than humans, there’s shoulder and head room aplenty up front.
